Brevis lifts the game with fierce hitting
As the match picked up pace, Dewald Brevis thrilled the home crowd with a flurry of sixes. From lofting a wide slower ball over cover to sending one straight down the ground, Brevis delivered power-packed strokes. He added another maximum by pulling a short ball over midwicket and later smashed a full and wide delivery cleanly over long off. Though he eventually fell to a sharp catch by Mendis, his innings had already left the team with good runs.
